About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
Welcome back Chef Rodriguez!


As Chef Jose Rodriguez puts it aptly: ''When I am not in the kitchen cooking, I am experimenting and reinventing myself continually. I don't know any other way to feel alive.'' After a long hiatus, Chef Rodriguez returns to Trapeze where he always felt at home. Under a new management, Jose is granted the opportunity to express his creativity in his work freely. With years of experience and much amassed recognition in some of the most well known Michelin Star awarded restaurants in the Bay Area, we are all excited to see what wonders he will bring.

''In addition to my regular menu, I'm trying what I call approachable foods - simpler in some cases and more sophisticated creations in other'' said Mr. Rodriguez, who has been working as a private chef and caterer for over 20 years.

For reservations larger than 10 or for private functions please contact the restaurant directly.

    Pricy for lunch ( it seems all Italian is now) but delicious food. I had 2 appetizers for $27; eggplant parm & Trapeze salad. My friend had a beet salad & added shrimp for same cost. Sat outside under umbrella. Inside looked dark and maybe better suited for dinner. Would go back again and have same items.

    Server was non-existent at times and didn't seem interested in serving us. There were 7 of us and all women. If the 20% tip had not been included in our tab we would not have given a 20% tip. We will not go back again.

    Did not honor our reservation. Waited over 40 minutes to be seated in a hastily arranged back room filled with other diners who were also not yet waited on. Different menu than online. We left before ordering. No apologies, no acknowledgements.

    This meal, which just happened to fall on Valentine’s Day, was a lovely beginning to our trip which started with a flight out of SFO. Fortunately I had thought to make a reservation or we never would have gotten in. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy and not too dressy, and the food and wine were great. I especially enjoyed my risotto with scallops; while the scallops were small, they were tender and there were plenty of them. We will definitely keep this restaurant in mind when we visit the area in the future.

    The noise level is very high and they need to turn off the large TV. Prtices are reasonable.
